Abstract
The Basel Convention is a global environmental treaty that strictly regulates the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and provides an obligation for parties to ensure their environmentally sound management (ESM) and disposal. The Basel Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal represents new norms, rules, and procedures in laws governing the movements and disposal of hazardous wastes at international, as well as at national levels. This instrument represents the intention of the international community to solve this global environmental problem in a collective manner. The governing body of the Basel Convention is the conference of the parties (COP) that is composed of all governments that have ratified the convention or acceded to it. There are five subsidiary bodies of the COP that have different mandates covering relevant fields of activities—namely: (1) the working group for the implementation, (2) the technical working group (TWG), (3) the legal working group (LWG), (4) the joint meeting of the technical and legal working groups, and (4) the Bureau composed of actual and previous bureau members of the COP.
